MON-090 STUDY OF COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND THE EFFECT OF RENAL TRANSPLANTATION

Moderate to severe cognitive impairment is prevalent in hemodialysis patients. The most common cognitive defects in ESRD patients include decreased mental efficiency, impaired attention, decreased psychomotor speed and memory. Renal transplantation may improve cognitive function and studies assessing the effect of renal transplantation on cognitive function have shown varied results with the majority showing improvement in cognition. There is no data in Indian patients. We planned to study the effect of renal transplantation on cognitive function and prefrontal motor cortex activity in patients on maintenance hemodialysis
